Henderson County deputies are investigating a rash of vandalisms that had Lake Summit property owners on guard this weekend.

At least seven vehicles were vandalized over the weekend along Lake Summit Road, said Major Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, and more incidents are still being reported. Some residents have reported that their vehicles were broken into.

Aside from the occasional lead-foot driver or trespasser seeking a fishing hole on Lake Summit, Tate said they rarely have an issue along the road. But at 4 a.m. Saturday, Tate said they "had the windows smashed out of our car, along with 15-plus others."

Some cars were also pelted with eggs, Tate said.

Employees at the Saluda Post Office returned to work Monday to find the property marred with tire tracks. The investigation is continuing.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crimestoppers at 828-697-7867. Callers can remain anonymous.
